Listed below are the questions Noosa Council Planning Department have put to the developer.

2. Provide a comprehensive assessment of need for the service station, including detailed assessment of supply of facilities, demand for additional facilities, need for additional facilities and impact of additional facilities on the centres network.

Need5. Describe how each component of the proposed development is expected to integrate with and complement the other components of the development.

6. To the extent that some or all of the components might be integrated or related demonstrate whether there is any additional need for the development as a whole (or a number of components together), over and above the need for separate components of the development.

Alternative Sites7. Provide detailed analysis of constraints on, and availability of, suitably zoned land within the area for the component uses. Demonstrate why the uses should be developed out of zone (including within a Water Supply Catchment Overlay Area).

Flow on Visitation8. Provide comment on the development’s ability to encourage visitors/travellers to enter Cooroy and its surrounds for other commercial or tourist activity and whether facilities could be provided within the development for this purpose.

Economic Benefits9. Provide further detail of the estimated overall investment to develop the project and the numbers and types of construction and on-going job generation.

11. Provide planning comment on the visual amenity of the barriers, any proposed design response to minimise their visual impacts and the adequacy of the proposed boundary setbacks for that purpose.

12. Provide confirmation of the ongoing tenure and likely party responsible for maintenance of the noise attenuation barriers in each stage/parcel of the development.

Signage13. Provide comment on the likely location and type of signage to be sought external to the site on State controlled roads (e.g. Bruce Highway).

Water Supply Catchment Area14. Demonstrate how the development will achieve the State Interest, as described in the State Planning Policy Guideline – State Interest – Water Quality August 2014.

15. Demonstrate the development is consistent with the SEQ Water Development Guidelines: Development Guidelines for Water Quality Management in Drinking Water Catchments 2012.

Flooding16. Provide detailed assessment of the upstream drainage catchment/s taking into consideration any overflows from adjacent catchments and stormwater runoff from roads (eg from Bruce Highway) onto the site. The assessment and report must be prepared by RPEQ specialised in this field and include in particular:

(a) Plan/s and data showing the extent of flooding (floodline) for 1% AEP storm event on the development site and the relevant downstream properties and roads (eg the Golf Course and Myall Street) for pre-development conditions.

(b) The general internal drainage layout and any proposed or anticipated required stormwater drainage works and mitigation works external or internal to the site.

(c) Plan/s and data showing the extent of flooding for post development conditions on the fully developed site and the relevant downstream properties and roads for 1%, 5% and 10% AEP storm events.

(d) Identification of potential adverse

Earthworks17. Provide plan/s to illustrate the estimated amount and levels of the earthworks required on the site and include cross sections to demonstrate the changes in finished levels, and associated structures, within the development site.

Heavy Vehicles18. Provide information regarding the trucks expected to access the site and include in particular:

(a) Types of trucks expected to access the site for petrol fuelling and the refuelling of fuel storage tanks.

(b) Access path of deliveries and service vehicle from the roads and within the site.

(c) Plan/s to show the manoeuvring and truing movements for delivery trucks accessing the loading bay/s of the food store and the fuel storage tanks for refuelling (clarify if the fuel tanks are above or underground).

Traffic19. Justification for the proposed commercial development having access via Ferrells Road, which functions as a minor residential collector street, or alternatively, provide amended plans and analyses based on all access via the proposed Myall Street access. If access to and from Ferrells Road continues to be proposed, explain how service vehicle ingress or egress via Ferrells Road will be avoided.

20. Justification for the proposed convenience retail and fast food facilities being located so remote from the town centre of Cooroy, so that virtually all external trips must be via private vehicle.

21. Provide analysis of the development impact on the traffic conditions within Cooroy CBD and particularly on the intersection of Myall Street with Elm Street (the railway overpass) and include recommended works to offset impacts at this intersection.

22. Explain the expected or intended relationship between the proposed development and the adjacent Bruce Highway, given that it is proposed to be located immediately adjacent to an all-turns interchange with the highway. It appears that, depending on signage, it could be intended to function as a service centre to two separate facilities – both Myall Street and the Bruce Highway. This will be particularly relevant in respect of the discussion at Section 4.2.1 of the Pekol Traffic and Transport Report. In particular, any “drop-in” traffic diverted from the Bruce Highway will effectively be “new trips” in respect of the Myall Street intersections.

23. Taking into account the item above, provide further justification for the design traffic generations discussed in Section 4.2.1 of the Traffic and Transport report, and provide the results of new analysis if design generation rates are adjusted.

25. Further details to identify clearing requirements within the road reserve, sign relocations and property boundary or fence set-backs which might be necessary to provide satisfactory sight distances to and from the proposed site access

intersection with Myall Street.

26. Provide a preliminary geometric design for the proposed site access intersection taking account of the existing intersections north and south of the proposed Myall Street site access intersection.

27. Confirm that SIDRA default values have been used, or justify any alternative gap acceptance (or other) parameters used in analysis.

28. Provide SIDRA (lane) output tables for the proposed site access intersection in the same format as those in Appendix “C” of the Pekol Traffic and Transport report.

29. Provide strategy and details of pedestrian and bicycle access to the site (particularly to the proposed food store the fast food outlet) and including end of trip facilities and taking into account of the nearby high school, and any other potential local generators.

30. Provide a plan indicating the proposed pedestrian and bicycle pathways/movement network within and around the site.

(f) How the proposal protects riparian zones by maintaining water quality by filtering sediments, nutrients and other pollutants

(g) How the proposal protects riparian zones by removing undesirable plant species and replacing them with vegetation of local origin;

33. Provide justification, based on environmental grounds, for the development to occur with the riparian buffer area.

Water Quality34. Demonstrate that the MUSIC model adequately sized all bioretention basins for all catchments that drain to each.

35. Amend the MUSIC model to include all catchments (including external road catchments) that will experience increased traffic or require road upgrades as a result of the proposed development. Demonstrate that the State Planning Policy Water Quality Pollutant Reduction Targets will still be met. Also demonstrate that adequate permissions can be obtained for construction and installation of any Water Quality Improvement infrastructure external to the site.

36. Demonstrate how the capacity of the tourist park bioretention basin and detention basin will not be compromised from inflows from future development.

37. Label the nominated sizes for each basin on the drawings and ensure adequate footprint is included on the design to include the required filter media area plus sediment forebays plus 1:4 batters around the edges of the basins and maintenance access points. Also propose estimated inlet and outlet levels for the stormwater drainage to and from each biobasin.

38. Please demonstrate that discharge from the self-storage area bioretention basin will have a legal point of discharge and will not be retreated or overload another proposed bioretention basin.

mobile accommodation noise criteria noted in Section 2.1.1 above.

(f) Provide further information to demonstrate that the mobile accommodation will comply with the determined façade corrected noise criterion.

(g) Provide an assessment of sleep disturbance due to road traffic for the park cabins and mobile accommodation areas, based upon the sleep disturbance criterion of Section 2.1.1 above.

(h) Provide an assessment of the noise impact of commercial uses upon the tourist park accommodation during the day, evening and night periods.

(i) Review and confirm the applicable noise criteria levels in Tables 5.3 and 5.4 of the acoustic report.

(j) Provide a detailed description of the noise model used to assess the impact of the commercial uses, including source locations, buildings included, car wash roof, receptor locations.

(k) Provide predictions of cumulative commercial noise impacts for various operating scenarios to confirm compliance with the criteria the Ferrell Street receptors for the commercial uses on the development site.

(l) Provide an assessment of the noise impact of the changed traffic volumes on Ferrells Road to the existing sensitive receptors in this road.
